Spectators: 7729 (Terracing: 5798, Seating: 1777, VIP seats: 154) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tudor Panin took the kick off in the first half of the match. Petru Hăvârneanu kicked well hit freekick during the 2nd minute of the match. Marius Fenici made in the 4th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Marian Naskrent however managed to control. 5 minutes into the match, F.C. APULUM's goal looked a bit too open when Cao Bo Xing came free, but Ionică Burtea reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to NoName Academy getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Cao Bo Xing hit a great ball. Tiberiu Mumuleanu might have been able to make a better finish in the 12th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ionică Burtea. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tiberiu Mumuleanu ran back to his position shaking his head. 14 minutes into the game, NoName Academy's Cao Bo Xing nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ionică Burtea made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Calistrat Ciobanu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ionică Burtea having to interfere. Ferdinand Tudor hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Calistrat Ciobanu scored 2-0 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ionică Burtea, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Ionică Burtea didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 32nd minute, which inside left pole to 3-0. Ionică Burtea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Marcel Varga, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cao Bo Xing could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 45th minute of the match, but Ionică Burtea made a huge save. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Marcel Varga was the one to do the kick off. 55 minutes into the match, Cao Bo Xing had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ionică Burtea. F.C. APULUM's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cao Bo Xing was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. Calistrat Ciobanu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ferdinand Tudor's late challenge caught a NoName Academy's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ferdinand Tudor helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of NoName Academy booed when F.C. APULUM was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ferdinand Tudor didn't get a good kick on the ball. Calistrat Ciobanu might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ionică Burtea. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Calistrat Ciobanu ran back to his position shaking his head. If Marcel Varga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. F.C. APULUM's Ionică Burtea played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Marcel Varga in the 83rd minute of play. If Felix Simionaş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ionică Burtea made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marcel Varga in the 86th minute of play. NoName Academy's Juninho de Amaral proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 89th minute of the match, managed to save NoName Academy from getting a goal against them. Juninho de Amaral was a little too slow when Mugurel Amuguroancei got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 90th minute. The score was now 5-1. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. NoName Academy had played much better football throughout.
